Fed up with Flash crashing my web browsers

I am tired of Flash content crashing my web browsers, so I installed ClickToFlash in my Safari (has to be done in each user account) and FlashBlock plugin in my Firefox (has to be done in Firefox for each user account). Now I can play Flash when I want to, not whenever a website decides I should see their flash junk.

When I hit a site with Flash, my browser displays a little “play” button instead of executing the Flash I have no control over. I get a chance to decide if I want to trust the Flash code on the server or not. No more browser crashes.

Here is an article describing how to use the Firefox FlashBlock in Camino: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20041217163514494.
